Might sound like a stupid question I guess but rubyonrails.org is just an advert right now, which isn't a good sign.

Except that they are having some domain registration problems today. It should be back up within 24 hours.
Until that is back up, it looks like http://rubyonrails.com will work for you.

Thank you, should probably have checked the .com myself!

The .com is not usually up. It usually redirects to the .org. But as a short term fix, they set the name servers to the .org's server ips.

You're right, they are down (today?).
- GitHub ( http://github.com/rails/rails )
- Or a RubyForum well written guide, working links ( http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=34 )

install rubygems, they type "gem install rails" from the commandline. There were some domain name issues with the hosting provider today, should be cleared up in the next few hours.

Looks like the site is currently having problems with its domain registrar, see here. Hopefully they should be resolved before too long and these links should work.

At the time of posting, there were already a good 3 or 4 links to the Ruby website. I didn't feel like my answer needed to contribute to this redundancy, but I did want to let the OP know that the site was down (which, at the time of posting, no one else had mentioned yet).

First you need to download Ruby www.ruby-lang.org Rails is a Ruby gem, so after installing Ruby, in a console you would enter gem install rails
Check out http://guides.rails.info/3_0_release_notes.html#orm-abstraction-and-action-pack-interface to get started with the latest beta release of Rails 3
